This item is a plaque with up to 30 letters of your choice in 1" high Hill House an arts and crafts font associated with the Glasgow School made from eco friendly copper - this is a 99% recycled product. The copper is glued to plywood and framed with limed oak which will develop to a weathered grey colour
Why reclaimed ? Todevelop a patina on copper that actually stays put is difficult at best, the patina on these numbers will stay and develop.
Polished copper reflects car and street lighting so illumination may not be necessary - saves electricity.
